Predict pain after major aortic surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tries to understand and predict persistent pain after elective surgery on the thoraco-abdominal aorta (a major blood vessel in the chest and belly). The goal is to learn what factors may help patients have less long-lasting pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult (18 years or older)
- Be having an elective (planned) repair of the thoraco-abdominal aorta
- Understand and be able to follow verbal instructions during the study
- Be willing and able to give informed consent to join
